Maverick UK Author Shocks With Indie Novel Launch

April 24, 2012 - PRLog -- Early five star reviews for ‘The Way of Vengeance’ written by maverick UK indie writer William Spencer, have described his debut novel as:

‘Shocking, exciting, tragic and romantic...’ and  ‘A well executed  and balanced novel that has something for everyone.’

The Way of Vengeance is an unforgettable story of passion, courage and survival, set during the Soviet Terror Famine of 1933 known as ‘The Holodomor’ a forgotten Genocide which claimed six million lives.

‘In terms of the historical backdrop, we have an event of Holocaust proportions, that is still little known amongst the general populous of the western world. It was very important to me to weave my characters and plot through this dramatic and shocking period in history, to produce an unforgettable work which I hope will remain as a lasting memoriam to those who suffered the terror of purges and famine during this dark time in history. This all has special meaning for me, because my late mother-in-law, Ewa Klym, endured this famine as an eight year old child. ’

Said the author, a Marketing Copywriter and former Oxford based publishing house employee, who was keen to defy market trends and the advice of the publishing industry, to create something that was truly authentic and unique.

‘The gatekeepers in the publishing industry are understandably pressured by budgets and bonuses, making them reluctant to break away from safe genres and tried and tested subject matter. As an indie writer, it was important for me to create characters and stories that carry the power and passion of my personal convictions; regardless of markets and trends, it’s all part of the process of finding an authentic voice as a writer and I believe my readers deserve nothing less. My writing gives a voice to the disenfranchised and dispossessed people groups of history.’ He continued.
